On July 13, Healthy Democracy sent 5,000 randomly selected Portland-area voters a letter, inviting them to be part of the first-ever Citizens’ Initiative Review (CIR) in the Portland metro region. Those who reply to this letter – and who are randomly selected from among the responses we receive – will participate on a panel of 20 everyday citizens. They will hear testimony from experts and from advocates for and against the ballot measure, and then identify the basic information all voters need to know about the measure. The results of their work will be published as a Citizens’ Statement and publicized through local print and broadcast media – as information for voters by voters.
